The first step is going to be to write some new install disks for it, just to make sure the entire thing does work as expected. Thankfully the hackspace has a greaseweazle I can use.
Step after that is going to be to try and figure out how to add a clockport to this thing, before finally adding an A314 for some RTG graphics

Orrrrr I could just load the disk image that Adrian (from Adrian’s Digital Basement) uploaded to the internet archive.
Lobbed onto a bluescsi, and it booted right away!

Interestingly enough, the Casablanca ROM still has the retina drivers in it for an actual graphics card!
